Vengeance Racing’s C5 Corvette Z06 might be the fastest of its kind in the world.

The ZR1’s top speed is more of a technical achievement than most folks realize.

Car and Driver took a ZR1 to the Texas Mile to see what it’d do and Facebook gave us the scoop early.

Aerodynamic lift seems to get to C2 Corvettes when left completely stock, so what do you need in order to safely approach their top speed?

The Texas Invitational is one of the most extreme airfield top-speed exhibitions on the planet, featuring some of the highest horsepower street machines ever built.

A 1.5 mile long timing loop set up on an air strip in the Mojave Desert recorded this Callaway SC757 cresting the 200 mph mark with ease.

Back in the days of the C5, the late John Lingenfelter was able to get a Corvette up to 225 mph with “only” 650 horsepower. By the time the C6 ZR1 rolled into production, it was able to achieve “only” 205 mph with 638 horsepower. With cars that are pumping out similar power figures, why the top speed discrepancy?
